Unbound 1.7.3 released

Published: Thu 21 June 2018

We are pleased to announce the release of version 1.7.3 of the Unbound recursive DNS resolver.

This release fixes a bug in qname minimisation, from 1.7.1, that double
counts CNAMEs and this causes resolution failures because the maximum
CNAME count is hit. This caught attention because since 1.7.2 qname
minimisation is enabled by default.

For a local name unix pipe unbound-control setup, with the pathname of the
socket configured in control-interface, Unbound now uses an unencrypted
connection. Permissions can be configured by setting them on the directory
the file is in, unbound creates the file with permissions that allow members
of the group of the user that is configured unbound.conf access. This fix is
also part of NSD nsd-control.
